Principals Luoshi Kang: The school is now urgently needed is the students’ beds, as well as students for the winter quilts and cotton-padded clothes, heating coal-fired, the very lack of supplies for the winter here, because they are mostly from poor families students, I hope the community of caring people to give our school a great deal of help, let them feel at ease in the winter living and learning.
